In a press release, the campaign pointed out some of the excellent work Pence did while he served as a congressman, prior to becoming governor.

They quoted part of a piece of legislation he backed: “(A) bill to loosen restrictions on interstate gun purchases (2011), (a bill) to support NRA’s child gun safety program … and encouraging its use in K-12 schools (2010) … Legislation to weaken federal gun laws by allowing people to purchase handguns from gun dealers in any state (2009) … “

Pence’s record didn’t stop there, and the Brady Campaign is not happy.

“(Choosing Pence) will confirm what we already knew about Trump: Gun violence is not an issue he takes seriously,” the group wrote. “Not only does Donald Trump dismiss the deaths of 90 Americans every day, he supports the NRA’s twisted vision of an America where everyone is armed all the time — whether they’re in a classroom or a crowded nightclub.

“If elected president, Donald Trump will waste no time arming those who share the kind of anger, racism, and hate he preaches,” in concluded. “And in Mike Pence he’s found the perfect partner in crime.”

Trump takes gun violence very seriously — and you can tell, because he’s infuriating gun-grabbers like this. Not only that, but the “90 deaths” statistic, according to Breitbart, was actually 30.
